Hello, I tried for three times to request an unlock for my telephone, but the answer was the same:'We're unable to approve your request because the IMEI number provided doesn't match a device that's currently on the AT&T network'. Then in a private message i gave information about my account number, imei, and the answer was that i should call to +1(314)925-69-25, they asked me to enter an AT&T number which i don't have. Could you help me please how can I unlock my device, because the contract is ended? Thanks for the answer.
